I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 using the Live CD on my desktop. It won't work for some reason (it works fine on my laptop).
When it loads from the CD, I can choose whether to Try Ubuntu without any change.. install Ubuntu.. etc.
But when I choose to install it (or just try Ubuntu without any change) it will bring up a black screen while showing up all of these errors.
Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 128
Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 129
etc..
After about 5 minutes of that and some random numbers and such, it will end up with
Setting preliminary keymap... [OK]
Preparing restricted drivers... [OK]
Setting the system clock [OK]
Starting basic networking... [OK]
Starting kernel event manager... [OK]
Loading hardware drivers...
Then it just gets stuck there.
Core 2 Quad Q6600
Nvidia 8800 GT
4 GB RAM
2 Hard drives (750GB + 250GB)
If I unhook one of the hard drives (250GB) , then the installation will continue and it will freeze right before it loads (it will freeze before it gets to the third bar)
Any suggestions / help is greatly appreciated !
